What version of S2u2 are you running?

I use v1.5 that someone put together specifically for the TP. Can't remember who or I'd give him props...but here it is:

Haven't found a need to update to v1.62 - didn't even realize it was out. I've been VERY happy with the 1.5 cab I posted for you earlier.

I text a lot, make a few short calls, check weather and occassionally some web stuff and have my Gmail set to synce every hour. On average, I can go 24 to 36 hours without a recharge on stock ROM and battery if my texting isn't too heavy.

Battery life with s2u2 is bad, but you can do a few things to fix.

Make sure you choose to ignore screen rotation

Choose not to show next appointment on the lock screen

Choose not to show next alarm on the lock screen

No weather on lock screen

No second clock

Task Count off

Don't use animated gif for Wallpaper

Don't auto switch wallpaper

Keep inertia off

This should help out your battery life, it improved mine by about 8 hours no kidding by leaving this stuff off!

I agree. Well except that sometimes it refuses to slide when I have a notification causing a soft reset! Maybe I should turn off the notifications.
